  • Democratic establishment melts down over Mamdani's win in New York

  • Right. That’s the problem. The candidates aren’t trying to date us. We are supposed to be selecting OUR representation. This is the message we should be sharing with one another proving how political engagement actually changes things, instead of the same old misinformation about ‘the DNC controlling everything’ and ‘two wings of the same bird’ nonsense. We just proved that turnout = change. We need more people to take this seriously.

  • You don’t even know what you’re talking about. The Bernie scandal was over the primary. That’s what Zohran just won. He’s now on the Democratic ticket. He has full transparency with their donor records.

  • The Smear Campaign Against Zohran Mamdani Failed. That’s a Huge Deal.

  • He’s about to raise taxes on ~350k millionaires, while increasing wages and lowering the cost of groceries and rent. It’s everything Trump promised in his campaign, but he’s doing it the exact opposite way.

    When it works, Trump is gonna look like a dick, and the nation will see that democratic socialism will get them what they were promised.

  • My point is we get them ALL THE TIME. People just don’t learn about them and show up for them. Congressional primaries see less than 15% turnout, yet people wonder why nothing changes. It’s simple. Retirees always vote in primaries and pick the centrist. That’s why everything stays the same. The DNC is not ‘handing us bad candidates’ in the general. We’re not picking the good candidates in the primary.

  • I’m not getting fifty different videos to please your empty criticism. We look out for one another. Get the point?

  • They aren’t required to fund him, that’s true, but all campaign donations from the DNC are transparent. He can compare it to Adams’ purse in 2021. They also can’t stop him from fundraising directly.

    If he makes it clear that they are withholding financial support given to prior candidates, then people will donate to him directly and the DNC will be publicly called out for favoring past candidates. That’s the last thing they need after the Debbie Wasserman-Shultz/Hillary Clinton scandal.

  • What are you talking about? He’s the Democratic candidate now. That’s how primaries work.

    We moved the attendance from 21% in 2021 to 30% and now the Democratic candidate is a progressive. That’s literally all it took- voting in the goddamn primary.

  • New Yorkers? My ass. Adams is the fuck who let ‘em in.

    This is how New Yorkers handle ICE.

  • I disagree. The KEY that everyone should take away from this is VOTE IN THE MOTHAFUCKIN PRIMARIES. That’s how NYC elected a democratic socialist candidate to the Democratic Party. Progressives run all the time, but primaries are largely decided by retirees. They’re the reason we always get centrists.

  • New Yorkers don’t give a fuck about other New Yorkers unless they’re in the shit. You fuck with one of us, you fuck with all of us. This is literally the best thing Republicans could do to lock Mamdani’s win.

  • These stunads have never been to NY. They really don’t realize the clout they’re giving Zohran by doing this.

  • I’m sorry. I misunderstood your comment as the quote was historically used by voters, not the DNC. I understand what you were getting at now. Sorry for being so dense.

  • Gotcha. That was never the DNC’s saying. That’s where the confusion happened. It’s an old “once every four years” liberal rally cry for the barely engaged voter, that was re-popularized to combat Trump after Bernie lost the primary in 2016.

  • They’re arguably the most important elections for change. We should be voting twice every two years, not once every four, for federal elections alone. It’s much easier to remember with mail-in ballots, and they give you the names to research if you’ve been too busy to keep up.
